Y35.3: Legal intervention involving blunt objects
Legal intervention involving blunt objects refers to injuries sustained as a result of contact with blunt objects during an incident of legal enforcement. This condition encompasses a wide range of injuries that can manifest differently depending on several factors including the force and direction of the impact, the characteristics of the object, and the area of the body that was struck. The injuries can range from minor, such as bruises and abrasions, to severe cases like fractures, internal organ damage, or even traumatic brain injury. Symptoms corresponding to the injury type and severity may include pain, swelling, limited mobility, visible wounds, and in severe cases, symptoms of shock like rapid heartbeat, sweating, pale skin, and confusion may also be present. Despite being classified under 'legal intervention,' it is crucial to understand that this condition invariably indicates the presence of physical harm and should be addressed immediately by medical professionals.
